I'm not sure I understand the question.
I'd recommend you write a sample patch and send it to emacs-devel@gnu.org,
along with an explanation of why you think it's necessary (including your
particular use).  It'll be debated and will require revisions anyway, so no
need to make it perfect.

Rather than dired-read-shell-command I'd argue Emacs should provide
a read-shell-command, which could be used at many places.
The pcomplete library already provides most of the code for that.
